Interface StoreLookupSession

All Superinterfaces:
AutoCloseable, Closeable, OsidSession, OsidSession

public interface StoreLookupSession extends OsidSession

This session provides methods for retrieving Store objects. The Store represents a collection of orders, products, and price schedules.

This session defines views that offer differing behaviors when retrieving multiple objects.

  • comparative view: elements may be silently omitted or re-ordered
  • plenary view: provides a complete set or is an error condition
  • Method Details

    • canLookupStores

      boolean canLookupStores()
      Tests if this user can perform Store lookups. A return of true does not guarantee successful authorization. A return of false indicates that it is known all methods in this session will result in a PERMISSION_DENIED . This is intended as a hint to an application that may not offer lookup operations to unauthorized users.
      Returns:
      false if lookup methods are not authorized, true otherwise
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method must be implemented.
    • useComparativeStoreView

      void useComparativeStoreView()
      The returns from the lookup methods may omit or translate elements based on this session, such as authorization, and not result in an error. This view is used when greater interoperability is desired at the expense of precision.
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method is must be implemented.
    • usePlenaryStoreView

      void usePlenaryStoreView()
      A complete view of the Store returns is desired. Methods will return what is requested or result in an error. This view is used when greater precision is desired at the expense of interoperability.
      Compliance:
      mandatory - This method is must be implemented.
